Text 10（第 19、20 题为推断题）
Once upon a time on a riverside, lived a monkey in a tree. The place was a paradise for him,
because he could reach the island in the middle of the rivers just by jumping on a gray stone, which
was round in shape. There lived a crocodile couple near the island, and the monkey was so clever
that the crocodile couple never managed to catch it. One day, the male crocodile got a good idea.
When the monkey was busy eating fruits on the island, the crocodile very silently went and sat on
the stone. After the monkey was done eating, he realized that the stone was looking bigger than
usual. (18) He understood that it was a crocodile waiting for him, so he called to the crocodile. “Is
that you, Mr. Crocodile ” “No, no, it’s not me,” the crocodile answered. The monkey thought how
silly the crocodile was! He called out to the crocodile: “Oh, you surely catch me this time! I’ll make
your job easier now! Just open your mouth and I’ll jump into it on my own.” The crocodile opened
his wide mouth with his eyes shut and waited the monkey to jump. The clever monkey jumped on
the head of the crocodile and crossed the river.
◆ crocodile 鳄鱼

Cecilia Chiang who named the “mother of Chinese food in American” is a famed restauranteur and helped introduce real Chinese food to America in the 1960s. She died on October 28, 2020 at the age of 100. Opened in 1961, Cecilia’ legendary San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin, was arguably the best Chinese restaurant in the US for over 30 years. She challenged the American idea of Chinese food and transformed their appreciation for authentic Chinese cuisine.
Ms. Chiang was born in Wuxi in 1920 as the seventh daughter in a wealthy family. After her parents died, Cecilia managed the businesses’ finances while still in her teens.
Ms. Chiang came to San Francisco in 1959. Once in San Francisco, she met two acquaintances who wanted to open a restaurant. Ms. Chiang agreed to put up a huge deposit. But when the two women quit, Ms. Chiang found to her horror that the deposit was not refundable. She decided to open the restaurant herself. “I began to think that if I could create a restaurant with Western-style service and the dishes that I was most familiar with—the delicious food of northern China—maybe my little restaurant would succeed,” she wrote in her book.
The Mandarin, which was opened in 1961 as a small restaurant, introduced customers to mainly Sichuan, Shanghai and Canton dishes. The early days were especially tough. But little by little, Chinese diners, and a few Americans came regularly. Overnight, the tables filled and became a huge success.
Ms. Chiang enjoyed many extraordinary honors. In 2013, when she was 93, she received the long overdue Lifetime Achievement Award from the James Beard Awards, known as the “Culinary Oscars” at New York’s Lincoln Center. Cecilia considered it her legacy to have redefined what Americans know about Chinese food and culture. In her acceptance speech, Cecilia said, “This is an incredible honor. James Beard was one of my close personal friends, so this award holds a special place in my heart.”
What is Cecilia’s early life in San Francisco
She transferred her family business to San Francisco.
She opened her restaurant because the deposit was non-refundable.
She met two classmates who cheated her out of money.
She obtained the help of two acquaintances.
What can we know about Cecilia’s restaurant business
It was an overnight hit through accumulation.
It is easy to survive the early days.
It has typical Western-style dishes.
It got help from a distinguished person.
What did Cecilia’s restaurant bring to Americans A．It completely changed American’s eating habits.
It brought Oscars to the food world.
It showed Americans the charm of Chinese food.
It brought memories of the old era to Americans.
How to understand the underlined word
Describe something that had always been desired.
Describe something that took place unexpectedly.
Describe something that had turned up by chance.
Describe something that should have happened before.
C
Childhood is not only a time for growing and learning, but also a time for joy. But the joys of playtime aren’t just reserved for human kids—animal offspring are just as likely to get into the act as well, and some of their activities are similar to our own.
Scientists believe that for certain animal species, some fun is play for the sake of play, but like humans, other forms of entertainment are preparing youngsters for adulthood. Play is essential to development because it contributes to the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children and youth. This holds true in the animal kingdom as well. “Horses are known to engage in play almost as soon as they are born. Once they can walk, they immediately start to gallop, frolic and buck, developing the motor skills they may need when they’re mature,” notes BBC Earth.
But along with motor skills, play also teaches animals essential hunting and survival skills. Natural-born predators, such as kestrels, use play to develop their hunting skills by practicing with targets that look like real prey when they’re young. In the oceans, dolphins chase underwater air rings to fine-tune their sonar ( 声 呐 ) skills. And while it’s unclear why bear cubs are so playful, zoologists believe at least some of their funny behaviors have a more serious purpose that aids in their survival as adults.
One of the most important teaching aspects of play is socialization. These days, for human kids, that usually means the basics like learning to share, teamwork, and knowing boundaries. For animals, especially those that live in packs, play gives an understanding of where each animal fits into the community hierarchy ( 等 级 ). In ways that are remarkably similar to the training which children of traditional tribal cultures receive, it is through the rules of play that lion cubs, kangaroo joeys, and wolf pups discover and establish the roles they’ll be expected to perform as adults.
So whether it’s chasing in the pasture or hanging from a tree, it seems that play will always be an inner and fun part of both human and animal development.
What does BBC Earth say about horses A．Horses often play in different groups.
Newborn horses like to play with their parents.
Horses can gain some skills while playing.
Play is vital for baby horses’ social development.
Which may be an example of animals’ developing their survival skills
Dolphins leap out of water. B．Young kestrels follow their real prey. C．Bear cubs play in a funny way. D．Wolf pups stay with their human friends.
What do humans and animals have in common according to Paragraph 4
They have a strong desire to make friends.
They get socialized in a similar way.
They change their social roles through play.
They gain their social ranks through competition.
What is the best title for the text
What Are the Benefits of Play B．Why Do Animals Play
C．How Do Animals Develop Skills D．Why Are Humans and Animals So Similar

There’s nothing to attract people’s attention to your new product like using it to send fast food into space. In June, Arizona-based World View demonstrated the potential of its pioneering stratollite--a sort of mini satellite that uses a balloon to take goods into the stratosphere (平流层 )--by partnering with KFC to ferry a 5-ounce piece of fried chicken 77,000 feet into the desert sky. “We took a chicken sandwich, launched it into space for 17 hours, and when it came back, it was perfect,” says World View CEO Jane Poynter.
Poynter’s final goal is to send tourists to the edge of space, tied to the company’s balloons, and to make the final frontier more accessible for research. Stratollites are inexpensive, compact, and easy to operate, ideal for monitoring weather patterns and providing military reconnaissance
（侦察） or emergency communications during natural disasters. They can also do what traditional satellites can’t: spend months above a specific location without moving.
Though Poynter did not formally train as an engineer, she has spent her career in leading space research. The British native trained her skills as a technical manager while part of Biosphere 2, an Arizona research facility built to test a self-enclosed, self-sufficient ecosystem. Its creators hoped it could one day be adapted for use in space. She spent two years in the early 1990s sealed inside with seven others, experiencing everything from oxygen failures to colleagues’ emotional breakdowns.
Poynter met her future husband, Taber MacCallum, on the project, and afterward, the couple formed Paragon Space Development. They began devising biospheres that could support plant and animal life in orbit （太空轨道）.
“We showed it’s possible for animals to live in an environment they are not used to:
microgravity,” Poynter says.
In 2014, Poynter and Maccallum achieved another first. They led the engineering team that helped former Google exec Alan Eustace skydive from the edge of the stratosphere. That’s when it hit them: The balloon-parachute system they designed for Eustace could be modified for tourism and research. So they formed World View, with MacCallum serving as chief technical officer.
The company has a contract with NASA to determine if the system could someday be used to gather data on Mars. “Taking stratollites and flying them on other planets,” Poynter says, “that’s definitely a part of the big dream.”
Stratollites are different from traditional satellites in that they can .
stay motionless in space
move about in a bigger area
provide emergency communications
survive better in a situation without gravity
What can be inferred from the passage about Biosphere 2
It was adapted from a spaceship that used to work in space.
It was intended to become an ideal place for space research.
The participants all experienced some kind of emotional breakdown.
The participants were isolated from the outside world for some time.
What does the pronoun “it” (in paragraph 5) refer to
Poynter and Maccallum have helped Alan Eustace to skydive. B．Maccallum will serve as a chief technical officer in World View. C．The system designed for Eustace can be used for more purposes.
D．Poynter and Maccallum hope to achieve more firsts in their career.
What is World View’s big dream
Partnering with NASA to do research on other planets. B．Using balloons to send tourists or researchers into space. C．Giving people more opportunities to try extreme sports in space.
D．Working with food companies to send food to astronauts in space.

Envy is a natural emotion of mankind, and we writers suffer from it constantly. But if we allow it, our envy will eat us up inside and turn something we once loved (writing) into something we hate now. 36 . Here are some practical and effective steps you can follow.
Remind yourself why you write.
I write because it’s a main aspect of who I am. It satisfies me in a way nothing else does. Although I’m glad to cash whatever checks publishers send me, this is not my purpose.
37 . As long as I remember why I write, I don’t feel envious of others.
Keep a positive comment file.
I’ve long kept a blurb( 简 介 )file where I list positive comments reviewers have made about my work. I use these blurbs when it comes time to promote my work. I also read over them when I need to remind myself that I’m a pretty good writer. I take screenshots( 截 屏 )of positive things people say about my work on social media. 38

You know what happens when you don’t see people posting about their writing successes all the time You know nothing about them. And if you know nothing about them, you can’t be envious of them, can you So sometimes leaving the social media alone might help you reduce the chance of being envious. Living your life in the real not the virtual world can remind you that your writing career is about you, not about anyone else.
Not focus on writing only.
You should bear in mind that there are more things to your life than your writing career. Hopefully you have friends and family who love you. Spend some time with them. Do you have any hobbies that don’t involve writing, something you do it simply because it’s fun and relaxing Do that for a while. Take a break for a few days and don’t feel guilty about it. 40
Cut down on social media.
Pay no attention to others successes.
Using blurbs makes me feel satisfied and relieved.
And I look at them when I need an emotional lift as well.
E．I write not for such financial reward, but for emotional reward. F．Therefore, how can we learn to live with it and minimize its effects
G．Recharging yourself mentally and emotionally in turn benefits your writing.

Ann agreed, but she said that she could watch it only for the day because she needed to take care of her son. At the time, her son Thomas was 10 years old, who was recovering from a heart operation.
Later, Tracy took photos of the dog, printed off 400 FOUND fliers( 传 单 ), put them in mailboxes and began to find the dog’s owner. Meanwhile, Ann bought some pet supplies, warning her son not to fall in love with the dog. However, her son was filled with excitement as he knew that his mother got a dog back home. He planned to provide the dog with some food everyday.
Four days later, Ann and her son were still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. During the four days, they took care of the dog carefully, provided some food, took a shower and played with it, and they had already become the best friends.
The evening of the fifth day, when Ann arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Thomas suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Thomas, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him, the dog went silent.
The doctor said if it hadn’t come to get his mother in time, Thomas would have died. Luckily, with the doctor’s help, Thomas could go home tomorrow morning.
